That's so cool.

I played the hell out of this game in the 90's, and then again when they re-released it. How fun is it to actually have to sneak into town and complete a stealth mission when your pirate's got a high level of notoriety?

Does kind of look like one, doesn't it?

TBH, I trust a security robot way, way more than I trust the KCPD at this point.

Our police are state-controlled and don't seem to give a damn about locals, and they've shown themselves to be completely inept to stem the stream of burglaries and theft that's occurred in the city over the past year. My own car got ripped off less than a year ago, forcing me to have to replace a window, but that's small potatoes compared to what many others are experiencing.

Unlike you, I won't accept that it's okay to do nothing because something is challenging.

The ACA and the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act were both passed with a simple majority.

Put simply, you are incorrect. Hard things are possible if a president is willing to work for the; Sadly, Biden was not.

So did Joe Biden.

The problem is he did nothing meaningful to restore it. My point is simple: It doesn't matter what you say if you're not going to use the power you have in order to make the change.

The early image books were magical. I also really liked Savage Dragon.

I would argue that 99% of voters are voting for it.

A good example is Democrats' response to Roe vs Wade repeal. That is to say, except for fundraising, there wasn't one. They raked in a cool $80 million though: https://apnews.com/article/abortion-us-supreme-court-elections-campaigns-8a6e3db27082cc212e9e5183b25e7c32.

When one side actively perpetrates fascism and the other side does nothing to stop it, the difference in rhetoric means absolutely nothing to me.

Also, really, they didn't. It's just impossible to know or tell all the small ways people tried to make the situation better.

From Germany, to Poland, to Britain the era of Nazism is replete with stories of people who resisted in big and small ways. That's the part of the story I like to focus on; how so many did small bits of good with their own two hands because it's all they could do.

It's crap.

You can use udm14.org though.

The Fediverse is as close as I've gotten to Internet the way it used to be, and I donate to the instances I use in order to keep it that way. I wish everyone would.

Our ruling parties have seen over the course of the last 23 years that Americans are accepting of living under constant surveillance, so as dystopian as this is, Ellison's not proposing anything that is particularly outlandish. If you have any cash squared away, it might even be a good idea to research which companies are trying to get these government contracts and invest.
